HINTS FOR FARMERS

* Leaving Wheat Itabhle High. Much wheat is grown on farms Where the supply of straw is larger than la needed and the market price is low, writes Alva Agee in National Stockman. In all such instances the self binder should be set to cut a high stubble, and when the wheat stands well the stubble can be left quite long. This leaves the straw where it belongs. It has some fertilizing value, and it makes a good mulch for the ground and for the young clover or grass when it has been clipped with a mower. The value of any kind of manure depends upon the use to which it is put, and so the value of the straw in long stubble when used as a mulch depends upon the need of the particular soil for a mulch, for organic matter and for the mineral matter In the straw, but it is safe to say that the value usually Is greater than the net price that can be got for It In market. Let as much as possible of the surplus straw remain standing in the fields that have produced it, and then clip It for a mulch. Fall Pigs For Brood Sows. Fall pigs grown until the following year and then bred for spring litters make the very best of brood sows. There are none that are better. They have the size, the age, the strength, vigor and vitality, and have been grown through a season of the year when grass has played a good part In their development and has brought them up to the time of the year when thej’ are to be bred, so that they are sure to get in pig easily, so that everything is lu their favor. It is important to breed from mature stock as nearly as possible. Breeders recognize this fact, and farmers will be driven to a recognition of it when it becomes evident to them that they must raise, more and stronger pigs from their sows in order to make them profitable.—Nebraska Farmer. The Canada Thistle. Mowing twice each year just after the flowers open will keep the plants in subjection. This will prevent the production of seeds, and thus serious injury to crops may be avoided, but it will rarely cause the death of the thistle roots except in good grass land or in wet seasons, and will therefore need to be repeated each year. It is generally as effective as pulling or grubbing twice a year. This plan is recommended for roadsides and waste land and for meadows and pastures where the methods for complete eradication aeem to be too expensive for immediate application.—L. H. Dewey, United States Department of Agriculture. Spraying For Potato Blight. Many New Jersey farmers spray potatoes for blight, but very few of the total number. Most of those who spray have found it profitable. The number of those who spray is increasing. We recommend that spraying be begun early in July and repeated at intervals of from seven to fourteen days. This varies with the weather conditions and the rapid growth of the vines. We use bordeaux, formula 6-6-50— that is, six pounds blue stone, six pounds lime and fifty gallons water. To this we add one pound parts green when the bugs are present.—G. F. Warren, Horticulturist, New Jersey Experiment Station. Killing GoHearod. Years ago we bought a farm that had Me field so thickly covered with this weed that ten acres would not have pastured a goose, writes a correspondent in National Stockman. There was absolutely no grass. We mowed it off and put about five sheep to the acre and fed enough wheat bran to keep them in a thriving condition, and the next season a finer blue grass pasture was never seen. They had killed “every last plant.” The cows won’t eat ft and It is fortunate that they will not. for If they did no use could be made of their milk, but sheep like it and will thrive on the young growth. Pasturing Sheep on Clover. In pasturing either clover or alfalfa sheep should uot be turned In until the clover or alfalfa is well grown, and then should be turned in when well filled up ou other grass and when the dew or wet is off; and after being so turned in should never be taken off, though a shed may be provided where the sheep may shade at midday. On ■uch pasture, with their mothers, the lambs will make prodigious growth Professor Kennedy of Ames, la. Home Grown Provender. Corn and oats ground together are a time honored provender for the cow that has fallen somewhat Into disrepute during the late byproduct propaganda, but under present conditions I question if it were uot wise to put the old home grown provender into tlie front rank agalfi. For continued results and to keep up the stamina of the animals there is no better grain than oats.—L. W. Llghty in National Stockman. Winter Pnature For Hoge. A New York farmer says In American Agriculturist: I have found August sown rye very useful as autumn and winter pasture for hogs. It makes Invaluable forage and, though pastured without stint, shows no bad effects in spring, but yields a large crop of graiu. Two acres kept forty Berkshire* 011 fresh feed all the fall and until about May 5, when the crop was kuee high. Conghing Cow*. For chronic cough in cows give the following: Mix four ounces each of sulphate of Iron, nitrate ®f potassium and gentian. Divide Into twenty-four doses, give one once a day In bran mash until all are taken. The above named quantity is sufficient for one cow.— American Agriculturist.

POLLY’S MASQUERADE

By BELLE MANIATES

Copyright, 1906, by Beatrix Reade

“Hillman! Hillman!” lustily called the brakeman, thrusting open the car door as the train slackened. Two of the passengers wjere roused from a state of passivity by tbis announcement and, gathering their belongings, hastened out into the cold night. One was a young girl with a city bred air and appointments; the other, a man distinguished in appearance. They both looked bewilderingly about them as the train slowly pulled out. “This doesn’t look like my recollections of Hillman,” said the girl, looking about the small, deserted station. “It isn’t Hillman!” said the man decidedly. “What station is this?” he asked as a railroad employee came out of the depot. “This? This is Rollins. Hillman is six miles beyant—next stop, except the siding.” The two passengers looked at each other in mutual dismay. The girl spoka

“DEAR ME! HOW CAN I TELL YOU—SHE SWEARS!”

first She spoke one word, and that a man’s word. The railroad employee looked shocked, but the other man appeared relieved. “Thank you very much,’’ he said. “You voice my sentiments exactly. Our common misfortune should allow us to waive all ceremony and conventionality. My name Is John Winters. I have recently taken up my abode In Hillman.” "Mine Is Polly Lester.” she said frankly, “and I am only going to Hillman to visit. I trust I will never take up my abode there.” “It isn’t an enticing spot.” he admitted, laughing. “When can we get a train to Hillman?” he asked of the railroad employee. “Not till tomorrow morning.” “Then we must drive there. I presume there is no livery here, but there must be some one who will drive us over.” “I guess Hank Innis. the barkeep, would take you over in his automobile. I’ll see.” He returned shortly with the barkeep and a runabout. John Winters made a bargain with him for the trip, and as Polly climbed to the seat beside him he said: “I have some good news for you. It seems our train meets the western express three miles from here, and that train Is reported late, so we can overtake our train and continue our way as we started.” Polly quite enjoyed this little adventure. She always did have a weakness and a tendency for adventures. She chatted freely with her new acquaintance. She was almost sorry when they overtook and boarded the sidetracked train, receiving apologies from the brakeman and grins from the passengers. Polly and John Winters continued their chatter until they approached Hillman. Then she said abruptly: “Hillman Is a small place, and people have narrow views regarding proprieties. It would be as well if we got oft singly and separately aud meeting, as we doubtless will, as strangers.” “Certainly. You are right,” agreed Winters, going forward to the smoking car. Polly was met and whisked away to the one hack by a spinster aunt. “Has Hillman changed much—any new people moved In since I was last here. Aunt Cornelia?" asked Polly demurely as they were unpacking her luggage. “Oh, yes. Hillman is growing fast. Lots of people, and we’ve got a new minister, a city fellow." “What’s his name?” demanded Polly, looking up Interestedly. , “The Rev. Mr. Winters.” "Oh!" gasped Polly feebly, bending over a refractory box cover. “What does be look like?” “I am ashamed to say I haven’t seen him,” replied her aunt. “First Sunday he was here I had a cold. The next Sunday it just poured. He has called, but I was not at home.” “Well, I presume he will call again.” remarked Polly. Later, when she was alone and reposing comfortably In the billowy

feather bed, she laughed wickedly and delightedly. “Oh, what would Aunt Cornelia do if she knew I swore right before the new minister! She’d leave town, Ido believe. I thought I liked him very well, but I doirt know. p I like a minister to live up to his calling, and he should not have been amused. It was frivolous In him to know so much about the world. If he weren’t a minister I know I’d like him, but as be Is a minister I’d like him to be different” The next afternoon her aunt announced that she had to attend a club meeting from which, she regretted to say, outsiders were excluded. Polly appeared resigned, however, and after her aunt’s departure she wandered about the house seeking diversion. She found it in her aunt’s bedroom In the shape of a wig, for her aunt had to resort to a false headgear, having lost her hair through illness. Polly promptly donned It and surveyed herself. “I don’t look unlike aunt,” she thought, “only I am young and plump. We look like the advertisements for ‘before and after taking.* " In pursuance of the resemblance she tried on a black silken gown of her aunt’s. She had just pinned on a long, pointed lace collar and fastened It with a huge cameo pin when she looked out of the window and saw her fellow traveler coming up the steps. “Coming sos a ministerial call. He won’t recognize me in this outfit, and he has never seen aunt. I shall personate her!” She hastened to admit the caller. “How do you do—Mr. Winters, is it not? I am Miss Cornelia Laflin. Be seated, please. I thought I was never going to meet my pastor. I was so sorry I was out when you called before.” » He politely regretted the fact also and proceeded to talk of the church matters. “Hypocrite!” thought Polly. “I’ll test him further.” “Mr. Winters, I don’t suppose I ought to tell you my troubles on our first meeting, but I feel I must unburden my mind and ask your advice.” “Certainly, my dear Miss Laflin. You may command and trust me.” “I have a niece visiting me—a well meaning girl, but brought up In a worldly way, and, Mr. Winters, will you believe me, she actually at times —dear me, how can I tell you—she swears!” “No, Miss Lafliri! You amaze me! It cannot be possible!” “Horrid hypocrite!” thought Polly again. Hearing voices on the porch, she looked out and beheld her aunt entering in company with a man. Dismayed, she snatched the wig from her head regardless of the effect upon the minister. She had just concealed It when her aunt and companion entered. “I made a mistake in the date, Polly. This is our pastor. Mr. Winters. My niece. Miss Lester. Mr. Winters. I met Mr. Winters on his way here.” “Well. John, what are you doing here?” asked the minister after acknowledging the Introduction to Polly. Let me introduce my cousin, Mr. Winters, though I presume you have introduced yourself.” “Yes, I Introduced myself,” he replied cheerfully. “Polly!" exclaimed her aunt, staring at her niece. “What in the world have you got my dress on for?” “Why, Aunt Cornelia. I was just trying it on when Mr. Winters rang and I had no time to change.” “And do you know,” said John, compelling Polly’s averted eyes to meet his, “for just half an instant as you opened the door I thought you were Miss Laflin, and then I at once recognized you as the young lady I saw alighting from the train last night.” For Sale or Trade —ls acres of land in Dearborn Co., Ind, \ mile to station mid church.

TAINTED MONEY.

The Democrats of Wisconsin in their platform just adopted remind the country that the republican national committee has not made restitution of the large sums received from the Life Insurance corporations filched from the funds that should have been sacred to the widows and orphans of policy holders. The plank adopted condemns the republican party for the acceptance of the policy holders’ money and demands that the same be restored. Now President Roosevelt has five months’ vacation holiday before him, there can be no excuse, for lack of time, for his not taking up the matter with Chairman Cortelyou and ordering that restitution of these tainted funds be made to their rightful owners.

The man from West Pullman was making a complaint at the water office. “The way we are treated in our suburb,” he said, “is outrageous and abominable! Water, sir, is one of the prime necessaries of life!” “Not at all,” responded the imperturbable man at the desk. If it were, my dear sir, it would all be in the possession of some trust.”
